✅ 3/2 Way 1/4″ Foot Pedal Valve – Full Description

Definition:
A 3/2 way foot valve is a mechanical valve operated by foot that has 3 ports and 2 positions. It is typically used to control single-acting cylinders or as a pilot valve.

Specifications:

• Port Size: 1/4″ BSP or NPT (standard pipe thread)

• Function: 3 ports (Inlet, Outlet, Exhaust) and 2 positions (Normally Closed or Normally Open)

• Operation: Foot-actuated (spring return or latching)

• Medium: Compressed air, filtered (no lubrication required)

• Pressure Range: 0 to 10 bar (or per manufacturer spec)

• Body Material: Aluminum alloy or zinc alloy

• Seal Material: NBR (Nitrile rubber)

• Mounting: Surface mount with holes

• Temperature Range: -5°C to +60°C

Working Principle:

• When the foot pedal is not pressed, the outlet port is closed and the actuator is not energized (or exhaust is open depending on NC or NO).

• When the pedal is pressed, air flows from the inlet to the outlet, activating a cylinder or other pneumatic device.

• ✅ 5/2 Way 1/4″ Foot Pedal Valve – Full Description

  Definition:
  A 5/2 way foot valve has 5 ports and 2 positions, designed to control double-acting cylinders, allowing both extension and retraction via directional control.

  Specifications:

  • Port Size: 1/4″ BSP or NPT

  • Function: 5 ports (Pressure, 2 Cylinder Ports, 2 Exhausts) and 2 positions (reversible flow direction)

  • Operation: Foot-operated, often with spring return or detent (locking) mechanism

  • Medium: Compressed air

  • Pressure Range: 0 to 10 bar

  • Body Material: Die-cast aluminum or zinc alloy

  • Seal Material: NBR

  • Mounting: Base mount or surface mount

  • Temperature Range: -5°C to +60°C

  Working Principle:

  • Pressing the foot pedal shifts the valve spool, redirecting air to one side of a double-acting cylinder (and venting the other).

  • Releasing or pressing again shifts it back to the original position (depending on spring return or lock type).
